Yang Chin-kuei

Yang Chin-kuei (Chinese: 楊金桂; pinyin: Yáng Jīnguì; born 30 September 1987) is a Taiwanese swimmer, who specialized in butterfly and freestyle events.

Yang made her own swimming history, as a 16-year-old teen, at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens, where she competed in the women's 200 m freestyle.

Swimming at the middle lane in heat one, Yang held on with Thailand's Pilin Tachakittiranan throughout the race before fading herself down the stretch to hit the wall in second place and thirty-sixth overall by just 0.36 of a second at a relatively slow 2:05.65.

[2][3] At the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, Yang extended her swimming program to four events, including the butterfly double.

On the first day of the competition, she swam the second heat to third place and forty-third overall in the 100 m butterfly at 1:01.60, edging out Turkey's Iris Rosenberger in a sprint race by close 0.07-second margin.
